Solo Travel diary | 5 day May solo trip to Dubai

06/10/2021 | Reageer

Hi everyone. I made a very ‘special’ blog post about my Dubai trip at the beginning of May. I want to say in advance that this is a journey in corona time, so you can certainly have an opinion about this. But published negative opinions are not welcome on my platform. Nor do I mean to ‘motivate’ people with this to travel to a risk area and not to stick to the ‘urgent advice’. And, I would like to mention here, that traveling to (orange areas) is discouraged, but not prohibited. (Holiday to an orange area is therefore not prohibited, and the quarantine is not mandatory either) And I have been tested both there and back (3x in total). I have to tell you that this was a pretty pricey trip, because of the very expensive corona tests. The shared apartment, the crew airline tickets (IPB) and everything around it were not even that expensive.

Outfit | Azur

10/09/2021 | Reageer

Hellooooo, welcome back to my blog, or welcome if you’re new! To get straight to the point; I think I haven’t worn this dress for an hour in the heat of Zakynthos. I had to take pictures of this cool outfit. I’ve had this dress hanging at home for at least one or a one and a half years, and I really wanted to photograph it on vacation. All outfits on my blog are also complete outfits that I actually wear and have worn on a trip. But I wore this purely for the photo because I no longer had the opportunity on vacation to wear it for dinner. I did intend to wear it when Iris and I went out to dinner, so I would honestly wear it too! But I didn’t have the chance because of our busy schedule in Greece. We didn’t come back to the hotel in between to change. So it was on and off with this nice outfit unfortunately. And oh, there are a lot of Zakynthos posts coming up! And the Dubai post is still on its way, haha! I’m excited to take you with me on the rest of my 4-day Zakynthos adventure. [Lees meer…]

Croatia Travel diary | 3 day trip to Split

22/08/2021 | 1 Reactie

At the beginning of this month, I went on a short trip to Split in Croatia. The country started to light up to me more and more, so I decided to take a short trip with a friend. The schedule was 4 days, but due to certain circumstances I unfortunately couldn’t get time off. It turned into 3 days last minute. Anyway, it was great! And that’s why I like to share my travel diary with recommendations with you.

Hi everyone, I really love this summery nice dress! Recieved a lot of compliments and questions about it back in Split. I even wear green of duty :). Didn’t have time to shoot this in split, but when I went for a coffee in town a few days ago, my friend Mey took pictures of it. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone. This is my 3rd and last outfit post from Split. My Dubai and Split travel diaries are still on the way! This beautiful outfit is from my last day in Split. Pink is one of my favorite colors to wear, so I love this dress. The place where I am is called Marjan Hill Stairs. Definitely a recommendation! Only with the enormous heat a little less great haha. But the view was worth the steps! I like viewpoints when I travel, so this was a nice activity for my last day there. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! It was so nice to get away for 3 days. I had never been to Croatia before (landed only for work, without staying there) and lately it was constantly on my mind. I needed to put on my list. And that was a really great idea, because it´s beautiful there! I also really like to share this short trip with you in several posts. I bought this nice set at Costes months ago. It is a loose blouse and skirt, which you can wear as a dress or as separate items. Really thought it fit for a fun trip this year. [Lees meer…]

03/08/2021 | Reageer

Hi everyone! Just got back from my 3 day leisure trip to Split last night, did a working flight to Malaga this morning, and already posted an outfit online from my trip! I recieved a lot of positive comments about this princess-like outfit, so I wanted it to be the first to be upload. I love this color! I was secretly not very fond of this color before, until I gave it a try, and since then I’ve really loved it! I find it really suitable for a holiday abroad so perfect for my last minute to Split. The trip last minute turned into 3 days instead of 4 last minute. I really enjoyed my trip anyways, I’ll be sharing more soon! [Lees meer…]

Beauty pageant Diary | Miss Netherlands (Miss World) finale

21/07/2021 | 2 Reacties

After an intensive year, the final of Miss World Netherlands is a fact. I’ve grown a lot as a woman and often stepped out of my comfort zone (I love). I didn’t win myself, but my good friend Dilay Willemstein was allowed to take home the beautiful crown, which Brenda Muste handed over to her. I am grateful that because of something ‘negative’ like corona, I was able to take a chance next to my beautiful, irregular job. Because we were all temporarily on the ground due to the freeze and travel ban, I was able to make this period something else special. Where one door closes, another door opens. This post is to share the last pictures of the final evening and as a short summary.

No one is more alive than the girl making up for the years she lost in survival mode. ✨

I turned 30 knowing exactly what I want from life - I’m just not there yet. I was there years ago, but the bar changed. 

I’ve worked since I was 21, my dream job at that time, but haven’t landed my long-haul dream yet. I’ve never had the long, safe love I want. I still live at home during a housing crisis.

And yes, my Instagram is a highlight reel. Every beautiful moment I share is real - but so are the parts you don’t see.

People sometimes tell me not to share the struggles because “people enjoy seeing you fail.” But those people occupy so little space in my mind that I genuinely forget they exist.

I’d rather be real.

So while I’m building the life I actually want, I’m not waiting to start living. I travel the world alone, chase experiences, meet people, create, dream and collect memories along the way.

I know where I want to go. I’m just not there yet.
And I refuse to call the journey there a failure. 🤍🌎
